SPARItiNG. 0/irer'3 Benefit at the Fives' Court yesterday was nume rously attended. The tickets were on this occasio❑ five shil lings, instead of three; and as every pugilist of note robin erred Ibis services, there was a display of amusement highly gratifying to the lovers of the boxing art. Among the best were the following : James Lennox and Mason opened the sports in a brisk en counter, and excited much merriment. Randal and Boit spewed science, perhaps superior to any two which could have been put together. It was at first nearly equal, hut Randal had weight upon his antaonist, and he spoilt Hoit'Sj/ourishes. Prow th e w a n t o f good'o- con. dition, Holt had the worst of the last rounds, although he made some exquisite parries, and it was the best set-to of the day. Deaf Davis and Abbot.—This was a bnsy turn; but Davis, who is a good piece of composition, rattled away, and queered Ins beads. Both ru tlianed it, until Abbot was hit upon the ti;,se, when he put the glove up and looked after Wood.— Davis had all the best or it. Lielcher and Painter next showed off, but there was no exe cution done to speak of. Painter hit heavy, hut he was slow in operation—a disparagement which a heavy man labours under against superior science and quietness. o'Donnel and West Country Dick made a good rudianing match. and tolerably equal, but Dick's right hand is not very docile at any thing near his weight. Seroggins and Hodson were next paired, and although ..Seroggins was lull of antics ho plaYed away unmercifully about his adversary's nub. Oliver and Swing finished the sports in a good scientific match to the advantage of (hirer, who returned thanks, ex pressive rather in feeling than words, fur he could not find many, like many other great characters. A detachment of the 50th Regiment arrived at Harwich on Saturday su'imight, and proceeded on Monday morning on their march to Chesterfield. .Ihe fir, ddivisi.An ot the same Regiment marched ,into Stanford, on Thursday, on their route to Bawlty. :This Regiment came from India last summer, where it Lad been stationed for upwards ot 20 years. We unGerstand that Captain HAWKINS, of the Evertborpe, ot Hull. while at the Davis's Straits fishery, being engaged with a boat's crew in at tempting to kill a bear in the water, the enraged animal made a snatch at Captain 'and seized him by the thigh, dragged him out of the boat, and immediately made off with his expected prey; but one ot the crew throwing a mallet with all his strength, it fortunately bit the bear, and caused him to let go his hold of Captain H. Wifivn the boat's crew succeeded in recovering on bdaid, alter the imminent danger of being worried to death, knocked on the bead, or drowned, all in the compass of a few minutes. Captain H. was recovering fast from his wounds, though still lame, when last spoken with. A witness at the Gloucester Assizes being asked by the Counsel what made hint recollect so well the period at which a circumstance occurred ? with a sheepish look, and some hesitation, re plied, '' I was then, Sir, a happy man "—" A happy man," re-echoed the Barrister : '' Yes," added the witness, " I was then newly married !''

It began with the Students at Gottingen, has since seized spinners and weavers at Man chester, and haS now crossed to Ireland, where, it is to be hoped, the evil, sprite tn.ty at last get safely embogged ATTkiMPT AT HIGHWAY ROBBEHY.--Last night, about half past 10 o'clock, Mr. 11 ENR . y BROOKS, of the Strand, with two Ladies, returning to town in a gig, were stopped by a highwayman on horseback, near the end of Chalk-farm•lane, in the Hampstead -road. The fellow with one hand seized the horse's head, and with the other pie ented a pistol with horrid imprecations. Mr. B. boldly urged forwarol his horse, and cut at the highwayman with determined resolution ; suc ceeded in disengaging himself at a time when three men, armed with blodgeons, wet e advancing from the hedge to ass;St t heir compiinion the" fellows followed up their object untii the appear.- ance of a coach induced them to relihquish their put suit. MURDER AT 110t.T...---The Coroner's Inquest renewed its .sitting on Tuesday last, and con tinued its investigation till a late hour. They assembled on ‘Vednesday, Thursday, and Friday ; ou the latter d.y, they re!urned a verdict of It mitt Murder against Geo. Thomas, of Holt, the man who was taken up soo n after the murder had been committeu, on suspicion of having per petrated the hi,,dy deed, and afterwards dis charged. He v;as immetii4tely committed to Ituthin gaol, to take his trial at the next As•ize, for the heinoua et title. —(Ciet:ter Cour. Sept. 22.)

THE TiItATRE: Ex'citisti Oi 5 eRA iloosx.—The new farce of The lttizdetr,bus was repeated last, ni :4 ht at this 'theatre, and received ihrotighont YVirlt the tatne warm applause as attentitql us first appearance.— Ir isa eery whimsical piece, is very well sup ported by all the Performers, and is very enter taining.—Aner this piece, the AutO»2alon Trum peter made his appearance. The figure is of the size of manhood, and in his Austrian mili tary attire, he made a vet y respectable appear , mice. He %VHS attended by the ingenious Me ' chanist, a German, by whom he was invented. Ile was brought forward Iron) a tent. It is the most extraordinary piece of mechatrism I hat we ever witnessed, and not only excited the wonder of the audience, but warm and reiterated applause. Ile was accompanied' by the baud, and, after giving the call to parade—the evening call— thr charge—the retreat, &c. of which .he executed with astonishing precision, he took part its some of the most difficult Musical compositions, holding the trumpet in his right band and beating time with the other. Far front the necessity of apologizing for the introduction of this extraor dinarsv piece of machinery in a regular Theatre, the Public are really obliged to t he•active Pro prietor tor having submitted to their notice such a wonderful production of aft. FOR T HE SUN. MR. BIIAHAM. This Gentleman has afforded so much pleasure to the Public in general for many years, and is so great an ornament to the Art which he professes, that he ought to he exempted from wanton ridi cule.; and therefore we insert %vitt) pleasure the following Letter which he was induced to wir e in consequence of a paragraph that appeared in a Morning Paper, giving an exaggerated account of his mode of travelling : . _ - Birmingham, Sept. '2O. • a,—Trnsting to yottr acknowledged candour and liberality, I hope you will, in answer to a malicious paragraph* inserted iti 4 Morning Paper on the 18th inst. state, that I have no coach and four horses; I hare no ontriders, and I have no superb liveries—would to Heaven I had!—nor was I paying a visit to Nils. Braham's relations at Manchester. But the - simple and plain truth was: being engaged to perform at a provincial theatre, and being pressed for time, I was obliged to pnt leaders to my carriage horses, and this common inci dent is maliciously exaggerated into a rid►culous affectation of aping the magnificence of a Duke ! True it is I keep mrcar riage (as well as many theatrical performers), which indul gence I owe to the fostering kindness of a generous Public, who, for twenty years, hare deig►aed to regard with favour. my hnmbl• talents as a vocal performer; and I trust I shall never be found deficient in gratitnile to that Public to whom I ow•e all my prosperity, or in respect to my own character, when so wantonly and ill-naturedly attacked. _ I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, J. BRAHAM„ * 'rite paragraph stated that Mr. Braham, on a late visit to his wife's relations at Manchester, was, from the splendour of his equipage and retinue, mistaken for the Great Duke Miclwel! CHgLIkISI , 9BO.-The population of this town hag increased so much of late years, and so many respectable families now inhabit that place and its %iciuity, that the leading people naturally turn their attention towards elegant amusements.— For the porpose of giving increased interest and attraction to the town, it is therefore, •we find, in contemplation to erect a Theatre. It is certain that the dramatic Muses have not had much en couragement in that quarter, but are hencefor ward likely to make it one of their favourite places of resort. Mr. CHILD, who planned the improve ments in the race-course, is, it seems, the chosen Architect for the occasion, and his repotation, from all we hear, needs no eillogium from us. If the plan should be ultimately adopted, Mr. NEI, HAM, the Lihrarian, will be the superinfendant, and toliim will be entrusted the management of the Theatre, under a new system. Wishing to see improvement, in all respects, spread over the country, in every direction, we heartily wish SHC• .CPSS to the undertaking.; and we can assure the good talks of Chelmsford that their g,ratificatiten shalt not want the cheering influence of THE SUN. AflcnoTe.—lVe have often heard of the fol lowing interesting event; but have not 'seen the particulars given before. We have, therefore, the pleasure of stating them to.our Readers.— A Nord Feast.—An - old-fashioned Tradesman*, knoWo in the Strand, - lately completed his 77th year,. and for the first time kept. his birth day ; his visitors were his children and grand children ; the .eating and drinking resembled a feast a hundred years ~ago, but the dessert was perhaps quite new :, the roast-beef and plumb puding having done their duty anti the cloth 'drawri, instead of - pushing the bottles about, the old mot presented each of his grandchil dren, twelve in camber, with a five -guinea piece in gold, a Bible, Dodsley's Economy of Human Life, Pope's . Essay 'on Man; and - Dr. Franklin'S Life and Works; be. then addressed his youngsters thus -:—" My Children, sometimes articles of the• least, value have the strongest powers of . ..attraction ; -gold is a slippery article, it is sometimes here to-day and. gone to-morrow ; in moderation, under the controul of discretion, it is good ; an 'abundance of it has proved in jut ions to more States and,.families than it has ever mended. Au attention to- the hooks that I presented you . with, will do you good, .as they. will be a pleasant guile through life's short join-- not, by teaching the adoration You owe to God, your dirty to your neighbour, and the benefit you owe yourselves, by enabling you to lay down . your beaks in peace, vitith a pleasing hope in fottirity, whiclf is my earnest- -prayer to God for you NIL . ' He. then called on his eldest grand daughter to read the last chapter in the Book of Proverbs, and on his eldest grandson to read the twenty-third seise of the fourth chapter or Proverbs.

A great quantity of samples were shewn in our Marker, on Thursday, most of which were of a superior quality, but the sale, was dull and prices lower than the preceding week, some Pockets fetched 81. 10s. and Bags 71. 10s. The quantity of Hops-in the Borough, during the last week, we understand, exceeded every thing of the kind remembered, and the demand not being equal to the supply, has occasioned the depression in price : this is to be attributed to more than one cause, viz. first, owing to the very early pick ing, the buyers from the %Vest of England have not yet arrived to purchase their usual con sumption ; - secondly, the brewers have agreed among themselves not to lay in their stock at pre sent ; and thirdly, the immense quantities that are daily pouring into the Market front all par.v.:and the eagerness which the Planters evince to sell at almost any price. These are the chief causes of the 'present depressed state of the marker, but when the supply becomes more regular the prices ate expected to be considerably better.—(Maid stone Journal, Sept. 22.) NATIONAL EDucaTtisN.—Thursday being the day appointed for the Annual Meeting of the So ciety fur the Education of the Children of the Poor, a very . numerous and respectable assent bly of Ladies and Gentlemen met at the Na tional Schools in Canterbury. The Archhishop of Canterbury took the chair at twelve o'clock, and imMeriiately proceeded to the tisual - busineis of the day, which being finished, his Grave called upon a class of the children in each school to repeat a lesson. At fist thought it seems to he lamented that his Gracie's annual visit to Canterbury. is necessafily fixed •at a time when it is not possible to have the attendance of many of the children, and they who do at tend, cannot be prepars:l for examination, not having met together for several weeks. But even this circumstance is tound to have its advantages, and it gives an opportunity of ascertaining, whether what the chiluren "have learned is firmly fixed in their minds—or like every thing else that is taught Superficially, "bath been soon dissipated.— The. little folks acquitted themselves to the entire satisfaction of his Grace, and the whole com pany of specOtors, who all declared that they could not have expected them to have been more perfect if they bad been at school every day since their holidays began. It may not be impro per to remark, that the subjects thus deeply im pressed on their yonng minds, are religious duties drawn' front the Holy Scriptures.—(kaidstone Journal„,sept. 22.) On Monday night t wo of the gang about Wal• worth were apprehended in an empty cart, near the lion:. Glass Villa Row ; their implements, consisting of a crow-bar, tennant-saw, &c. were found in an empty house near that place. Their lodgings were H Red Licm-court, Tooley-street, where a part of the booty was found and recognizett by its owners. Last night, between eleven aod. twelve o'clock, an attempt was made on the house of Mr. Warner, and also at Mr. Gordon's, Apollo buildings, East-street, Walworth ; but .owing Its the vigilance of the watchman on that walk, wha alarmed Mr. GA family by ringing the hell, the villains, after opening one door, barely escaped through another. On Thrirslay morning last,' an athletic man, dressed in female apparel, was apprehended in this city. The Preceding night, lie took a lodging in St.olave-street, at the house of au elderly wo man, and 'stared to her that he as not one of the fair sex I The reason he assigned for being thus disguised was, that he had been robbed of his own clothes, and supplied with female garments by some ladies, immediately alter the robbery On his person had been committed, to supply the place of those which had been taken from him. The old lady communicated the story that had been imparted to her, as to her lodger being metamor phosed, to a iumale who lodged in the house, who immediately trumped up a tale, which in ctueed the stranger to engage another lodging which she bad recommended to_him.
